The question was asked yesterday ''What manner of man is Jesus"?

  • He is the creator of the universe!
  • He is the Life Giver!
  • He is our deliverer!
  • He is our comfort!
  • He is our Savior!
  • He is our Salvation!
  • He is the calm after our storm!
  • That calm that follows the raging storm!
  • He is the quiet that follows the our battle!
  • He is the cool summers breeze after our Hot, Humid & muggy afternoon!
  • He is the 45 degree day following the record setting minus 35 degrees.
  • He is the rest after a hard days work!
  • He is the comfort in our sorrow!
  • He is grace that used a murderer named Paul, instead of killing him.
  • He is compassion that healed the ear of Malchus when Peter chopped it off.
  • He is the Lifegiver that raised Lazarous from the dead.
  • He is the healing that opened the blind mans eyes!

  • He is liberation to a demon possessed man, that lived in a grave yard
  • He is clemency to a thief on the cross
  • He is the dinner companion to those dispised by society
  • He is the patient and humble creator, that allowed Joseph the carpenter to show him how to use a hammer and a saw
  • He was mercy to a women about to be stoned for a two person trespass
  • He was appetite quencher to the multitude
  • He was the faith builder that fed the multitude with a few fishes and loaves
  • He was the taxpayer that pulled money from the mouth of a fish to pay his taxes

That's what manner of man Jesus is.
